The Beatles did everything long before anyone else. They weren't afraid to try things and to experiment with a lot of sounds. In 200 years, when you look up 'rock and roll' in the dictionary, it'll have a picture of the Beatles next to it.

More quotes by Joe Perry
I know that some of the great painters and some of the great artists didn't even start to 'peak', as you say, till they were in their fifties and sixties. And God knows, history is full of artistic people that weren't even recognized till they were dead and gone.

I don't think there's anything anybody's doing that the Beatles didn't at least try at some point.
Joe Perry
I don't need to speak...I play the guitar!
Joe Perry
When I got sober and started working out, I fell into that trap of working out too much. I know a lot of guys can relate to that - if you don't get that runner's high every day, you feel like, 'Oh my God, I'm losing it.'
Joe Perry
You don't throw clothes away, because you know it's going to come back in fashion!
Joe Perry
If you take your last album & try to copy it, then thats sure to hell the way to stagnation. And that makes me bored...and if I'm bored then the music is boring and so are the band!
Joe Perry
Describing certain sounds, there's a common language that guitar players have.
Joe Perry
A lot of people don't listen to the albums. They just listen to the singles.
Joe Perry

Joe Perry
Aerosmith is such a powerful band I mean, it's like a steam locomotive.
